A self-powered mechanical strain energy sensor
Abstract
With the growing use of sensors in various structural and mechanical systems, the powering and communication of these sensors will become a critical factor. Wireless communication electronics are becoming ubiquitous and with the decreasing electrical power requirements for these circuits it is now feasible to generate power from the conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy. This paper focuses on the theoretical and experimental analysis of a simple mechanical strain energy sensor with wireless communication. A simple beam bending experiment is given to illustrate some of the characteristics of the self-powered strain energy sensor.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
